' T0 at whom it may concern:

The juice when extracted from the stalks of sugar-cane through an ordinary su gar-cane mill and put into kettles or other cooking apparatus for cooking purposes must be skimmed as fast as the scum or impurities off rapidly with much finerskimmers than is necessary for the first skimming. i

I have tested this process on an extensive scale, and it has always proven satisfactory. What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is--- The herein-described process of making syrup from sugarcane, which consists in cooking the juice to the syrup state, While repeatedly skimming the same, then adding water and nitrate of potassa in about the stated proportions as mentioned,'and then again repeatedly skimming with fine skimmers.
